Cute little dots in the Easter tree I hear you say. What are they? Clue, you probably have a bunch of them around.
Yup, you guessed it. Or didn't? Buttons, boutons, knöpfe, knappar! I have so many and hardly ever use any other than the occasional white one as a replacement on a shirt.
There are so many cute and fun buttons in colors I would never use on garments but in our Easter tree they're perfect. I simply strung each button on a transparent thread (regular sewing thread works fine too of course but I happened to have this and I like the way you hardly see the thread) made a loop and put a knot at the end.
I love it! Made it myself, it's recycled, it's almost free (too old to climb our birch tree in the back yard so I bought the branches at the flower market). What more can you want from an Easter tree?

Wooow! Nice for easter… but candy is my favorite.
I like all your cheerful knopen.
The easter tree images are good and also the buttons work on it is really interesting.

Cute! This is my ninth year living in Sweden and I have yet to make an Easter tree, but if they can be this sweet I think it’s time to start.
So Sweet! I made one too.
Charmigt med de små knapparna! 🙂

I’ve never made an Easter tree before, but this is the perfect craft for my 2 children to do during these holidays.
Thanks for the inspiration!
How cute is that?! I want to do this too. You are so clever!
It’s very happy looking!
love this, benita…i will be using the stray forsythia branches from our yard to do this!
Very creative 😉
Nice looking blog
LOVE IT.
Really cute idea, now I want to try it at home too 🙂 Only one question: do your cats leave it alone? I think our cat Lissu would play like crazy with those buttons! 🙂
They haven’t touched it yet. I guess because it doesn’t move it’s not that interesting 🙂
Fine knapper – perfekt!
This is so charming and simple.
Benita you are a very clever lady!
Thank you. 🙂
What a lovely idea! And such a good use for all those beautiful buttons that never see the light of day. And I love that it is free!
RECYCLED= great! I love this…so pretty.
I love this idea!
Nämen jisses vad sött Benita! Härlig ide!
This is so cute!!! I love that you don’t overdue it so it makes me notice it even more. I really love this. I may make a small one. Sweet.
Lovely! Love the buttons!
